A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

I received a big bag at the Adventurers Union and got the "too convenient bag" that when I put in all the stuff I was asking for each transport, we were all back at the Elvis Mansion chatting.

Although I came back, I decided to welcome Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Smith and Frederick in the guest room for lunch.

"Takeo, what have you done?

We greet him home, and as soon as he gets to his seat, Grandpa Elvis hears him as he narrows his eyes to Takeo.

"... Are you a soldier leader?

"Uhm.

I just got a report after Smith and Frederick left, and there was a subtle thorn in the expression.

"Yeah, well.

Takeo strikes a relationship with a bitter smile.

"Can you explain it to me in the end?

"Yes.

In short, the test site for work clothes has been extended to the training ground of the test platoon (...).

I'm getting the tree ripped off in the state of Khu's adult beast.

I just forgot to say a word to the soldiers at the back castle gate.

Next time I'll tell you in advance when I do something big.

"Hmm, well, that would be good.

And you built a square dedicated to the Institute in the woods near the back castle gate to the north?

"Yes... erm... this is about it.

Takeo will write an overview of the square on a note around it.

"I made it big in a long day.

Frederick, what do you say?

"Wouldn't you mind?

I wasn't sure where, but it was something I needed to make (...).

Besides, when we spoke to the test platoons, we confirmed that the test platoons at the second laboratory would train in front of the back castle gate on the north side of the city.

So the more forest around the back castle gate, the less problem there will be.

But it's along the street, even though it's not the main street, because it will also be tested for small arms, so please install a wall around that square that prevents bullets.

Frederick requests it.

"Yes.

The soldier chief tells me to surround him with a wall of about 2m... but I'd like to make it a little higher.

"How much is envisaged?

"Go 2m in front and 20m in the back"

"I can't.

Grandpa Elvis responds instantly.

"Yes, I don't think it's realistic.

So I was wondering if I could impose a 1250m entry ban on the wall around 4m and the depth of the small arms training ground.

"Dear Takeo, 1250 meters is the maximum range of the small arms modification 1, right?

Smith asks.

"Yes.

The small gun modification 1 has specifications for the bullet to burst at about 1200m, so I'm wondering if I should be able to see another 50m margin and do something about off-limits.

"You haven't decided yet, have you?

"Yes.

For now, I think we should just let them cross between the trees with strings or something for the time being to handle a simple ban on entry, and then we can all do it after we have all the test platoon personnel.

"Uhm, that would be good.

Well, I don't mind if you keep the place at the lab.

Our magician platoon should be ready for Takeo's lab and warehouse.

Frederick, how far are you going?

"Sure... the demolition of existing buildings should be starting around yesterday.

Well, it's a one-story wood, so it won't take that long.

Dear Takeo, you're going to the Maintenance Bureau this afternoon as planned, right?

"Yes. In the meantime, I'll be back when I see what kind of interval it is.

I'll tell you what's bothering me about the interval... but I'll probably have to leave it to the experts.

And then I'll stop by the grocery store on the way home and buy some wood and make some reversing in the study, right?

"" "Reversi?

Grandpa Elvis and Smith, Frederick tilt their necks.

"It's a formation toy.

The rules are simple, too.

"Can you do that right away?

"I think maybe... I could do it in a couple of days, but I thought I'd make it for now.

"Uhm.

In the meantime, why don't you just wait?

"Yes."

Takeo snorted.

and "Ladies and gentlemen, lunch is ready.

The butler spoke to the guest room.

------------------------

Takeo and the others are in the guest room after lunch during tea time.

In the meantime, the chef was coming to Takeo.

"Takeo, I heard you were going to the Maintenance Bureau after this..."

"Yes, Chef, what is it?

"No, they're talking about building a coffee shop on the ground floor of the lab.

That sounds interesting in itself, so we're in the mood for a ride, but I was hoping to check out the kitchen.

"Okay.

Okay, Chef, let's go together.

With that said, are you listening to my proposal?

"Hmm? What?

"I wanted the chef's wife and daughter Hilda to do dishwashing, catering, cleaning up, accounting, etc.

"Hmm... that's just a customer service clerk, right?

"You will.

Will the cook be seconded by the Elvis family, so is that an aid?

Besides, there are 150 meals per day on the daily menu.

Even if we make that for two, there is no caterer.

The only person I know who can count on is the head chef's family.

"Hmm..."

The chef worries.

"Is it difficult?

"I have to ask you all this.

My daughter-in-law would be better... but Hilda would.

Thanks for wanting to be a cook.

"Isn't that a good thing?

Oh, because I've decided to get a job somewhere?

"No. So far, I'm relaxing at home studying cooking...

Um... meals.

Takeo, when you think about that pocket watch time, the busy hours are... uh, around the 6: 00 section bell, so...

I'm thinking between 11: 00 and 14: 00, what do you think?

"I do think that's about what they call noon.

Takeo nods back at the chef's words.

"Takeo, what time do you expect this coffee shop to be open?

"10 to 15, 17 to 20... no. Is this a long working day?

Then is it 11: 00 to 14: 30 and 17: 00 to 20: 00?

"Between 9: 00 and 20: 00 in the morning, if you think about planting, etc.?

You do need two cooks (...).

"If it was my real first thought, I wanted to make it a snack in the morning, a fixed meal in the day, a simple tavern in the evening... but it seemed kind of difficult, so I thought it was a day and night part...

No, on the contrary, maybe it's just good morning and noon.

"You're not gonna have the most profitable night?

"Yes. If we only provide morning and noon... if we do it well, we'll make more money than we do at night.

For example, in the morning, if you have two kinds of soup and two kinds of bread and bacon-based meats and eggs with five pieces of copper coins, and you only prepare the salad and take it yourself (...) so that you serve the same dish every day, you can't fix the cost of breakfast?

That's going to get you working from 8: 00 to 16: 00 in the morning, right?

And surprisingly, there aren't many stores (...) that open in the morning, are there?

"Hmm... I see.

Certainly not many shops open properly in the morning.

Everyone's eating breakfast. Behind that, the kitchen can prepare for lunch, and when lunch is over, can you prepare for the next day and do the shoplifting?

Only if the cook thinks about focusing during the day... that could certainly be a new form.

"Besides, this coffee shop is not just a store looking for profit.

It's not that profitable because it's a store that you can do if you cover the cost of food, utilities and non-cook labor.

"Right.

It's only a part of everyone's benefits and a lunch place for the Takeos.

"Yeah, well, that's right.

Well, I'll leave what form to the chefs.

Because it doesn't seem to make sense to operate for too long.

"Well, I think I'm going to have a little more time to think about it.

I'll ask Hilda and his wife that too.

"Excuse me, please.

Oh, well, why don't you go to the maintenance bureau?

"Right.

Takeo and the chef took their seats, greeted everyone and left.
